3-3 in the first set of the womens final

my prediction was stosur in 3, something like 5-7, 6-2, 6-4

being about half italian i am forced to route for schiavone, though ;\

4-4

no breaks, not even a break point so far

schiavone carves out 3 break points

SO aggressive, always looking for a way to get to the net, even off the return

stosur erases 2 with a forced error and a bh passing shot that would have probably passed her, but hit the net cord and landed out

and then a double fault and it's 5-4, schiavone to serve for the first set

schiavone tries a drop shot that hits the top of the net, 0-15

bh slice long, 0-30

unreturnable out wide, 15-30

another out wide, perfect cc forehand into the open court, 30-30

bh return into the net, 40-30 and a set point

stosur stays in the point, hitting the line twice and then gets a short ball and hits a hard fh into the open court, deuce

more serve and volley, stosur gets to the first and makes schiavone play another, which she does, ad. schiavone

stosur nets a bh into the net, and schiavone takes the first set 6-4
